What if, and this is just me spitballin' here, but what if you were a defense and all you knew was that you were expected to STONE COLD STOP every possession of th opposing offense in order to help compensate for your inept QB who throws balls to the ground and overthrows and ****s himself when a guy is within 3 yards of him?

They're ****ing tired out there. All they have done, all 2nd half of the season, is chase guys because Schaub has cost us with so many 3 & outs and costly Schitty Schaub Throw of The Game moments.

It crushes your soul. Even our vaunted defense.

You can tell they are tired of it. WE are tired of it. How much more are the guys on D tired of it? Nothing they do matters. Schaub ****s it up no matter what.

Not debating that Schaub sucks at all.

With Wade, the Texans will NEVER beat the Patriots with Tom Brady. NEVER. Schematically at a disadvantage every single play. It was over ever since Bradie James lined up out wide covering anybody.

Stop making excuses for the defense, they're getting exposed...They're not tired they havent even been able to get lined up at times and we've gotten eaten alive up the middle in the run game...they are as much to blame as schaub and the offense.

Schaub has been this team's demise the second half of the season.

So, yeah, I will say it again: Defense give up when they think the other side has given up or made their life a living hell. It happens.

They're like Scotty. They keep giving her all she's got, and Kirk keeps radio'ing down for MORE.

Nope, he's right. It is the offense's problem. The defense has to be perfect to win this game. Perfect. Every mistake is magnified unbelievably by the fact that the offense isn't doing anything.

Plus we got no Brian Cushing in the middle. Taking that into consideration I'm fine with the way the defense has played. Maybe if the offense would score and make an opponent go one dimensional every once in a while the defense would look a little better.

Your fine with the defense has played? Not getting lined up in time, gashed up the middle, open receivers everywhere.
